Ed. PRICES OF DIAMONDS To the editor of the Telegraph: Please publish following in answer to frequent inquiries we have, relative to the various reports in the newspapers, regarding the depreciation in the price of diamonds. We have had positive assurances from the De Beers Mining the Premier Mining and the syndicate, who have marketed the rough diamonds for them, that there will be no reduction whatsoever in the price of the goods. The various reports that have bien published in almost all American papers have been generally Associated Press despatches coming from London, Paris, Antwerp, etc. The persistency with which these reports, or news items, are forwarded is seemingly un explainable, unless it be that some rich body of men are trying to depreciate the shares of the diamond mining companies, that they may acquire them at a low price, iney nave succeeded to a certain extent, in reducing the value of these shares as quoted on the European stock exchanges, and despatches received here stating that diamonds (referring to diamond mining shares) have depreciated 50 per cent or more have confused in the public mind the shares of the diamond mines with the value of the diamonds themselves.

The diamond mines have closed down, to a large extent, in order not to accumulate a surplus of rough diamonds, as they are not selling their product now. and passed their dividends, in order to have sufficient money to keep their mines in good order while they are not marketing their product. As far as we can see, there is no chance of the diamonds depreciating in value to any extent whatsoever.
